- Bearing in mind each oven is different, cook at 200 degrees for both cock and hen
- Estimate 50 mins for the hen; 20 mins longer for the cocks
- Cook the birds upside down, with water in the tray
- Turn the right way up 20 mins before the end to crisp up the breast
- Baste regularly throughout
- Allow the bird to rest for 15 minutes (never carve anything that is steaming) - hot plate, hot gravy!
- Et voila
